Kurukshetra, a national natural farming model: Naveen Jindal

Kurukshetra is emerging as a national model for natural farming, said MP Naveen Jindal at the inauguration of the three-day agro-tech exhibition and startup conclave at Kurukshetra University.
In his address, Jindal emphasised that Kurukshetra’s sacred legacy is now guiding the future of chemical-free farming.

“Under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi and with guidance from Acharya Devvrat and Padma Dr Hariom, the movement for natural farming is gaining nationwide momentum. In the government’s initiatives to increase farmers’ income, farmers need to take proactive steps towards adopting natural methods that enhance soil health, conserve water, and ensure safe, high-value produce. Natural products are not only healthier but also command premium prices in the market,” said Jindal.
The event showcased agri-tech innovations by startups and progressive farmers organized by Naveen Jindal Foundation in coordination with IRMA-ISEED. Jindal encouraged farmers to begin small and scale gradually, making natural farming a household norm.

He announced upcoming programs for livestock owners and youth, stressing the need to document livestock lineage to improve productivity and resilience in animal husbandry.

Referring to Operation Sindoor, he expressed pride in India’s armed forces and leadership, stating, “India will not remain silent against attacks on innocents. Our commitment to peace will never mean compromising on security.”

Padma Shri Dr Hariom shared insights on the Rs 2,481 crore scheme under the National Mission on Natural Farming. Citing scientific research, he warned of the declining nutritional value of staple crops and rising chemical contamination in Haryana’s groundwater. He lauded Jindal’s proactive advocacy for natural farming in Parliament and at the grassroots level. The event was attended by Pundri MLA Satpal Jamba, BJP District President Tejinder Singh Goldy, Padma Shri Dr Hariom, senior officials, and local leaders.
